Of course, in my opinion, we should have in place a system where folks are re-tested every few years. The laws are *always* changing – those legislators have to justify their existence somehow – and are you really sure you know what the current thinking is on the correct way to handle a driving situation? … Continue reading When is the last time you read the Georgia Driver’s License Manual?
It had to happen eventually. It seems that National Geographic Wild (Nat Geo Wild) has the honor of being my first piece of Twitter SPAM. @MarcBourassa see the lastest technology news at http://t.co/3CnAyNu ! Natfeo_wild Wed 22 Jun 00:03 via web
I purchased this KVM after my TRENDnet TK-207K bit the dust after only 6 months of use. I have to admit that I’m now happy for being forced to change. The TRENDnet was only about $23 from Amazon where this Syba weighed in at closer to $60. This is still a very good price for … Continue reading Syba SY-KVM20054 1920 x 1200 DVI Video 2-port USB KVM Switch with Wired Remote Port Selector Review
I use Evernote to store a boatload of information. Having it available EVERYWHERE in a searchable and organised fashion is very useful to me. Recently I noticed that PDFs that I had created (of useful pamphlets or contracts) were not text searchable. I presume this is some side effect of my changing from a free … Continue reading PDF Indexing for Evernote Premium
I had a CT scan a few days ago as a follow-on to a comment made by a technician who reviewed the brain MRI taken after my bicycle accident last year. The MRI cuts through your head at such an angle that it misses a good portion of the sinuses, but the tech noticed that … Continue reading Sinus Surgery in my future?
This is a nice orrery, I like the cool ability to shift between Copernican and (insane!) Tychonian renditions. Check it out here:
I’ve been eating at Five Guys for a couple of years now. Given my love for fries, why do I keep eating ones that I rate as “Very Good” (4 out of 5 stars) and not necessarily “Excellent”? The answer lies in their other two biggest strengths: The people who work there are uniformly pleasant … Continue reading Five Guys (5 guys?) Fries – Very Good
Last night Michelle and I received the replacement Blu-ray disc for “Salt”. We had returned the first one to Netflix as being unplayable. This second one suffered from exactly the same issue: The disc would churn for the infinite amount of time a Blu-ray disc likes to churn, it put up it’s little custom progress … Continue reading Does Blu-ray blow or is it just my imagination?
I’ve said it before (it’s buried in there) and this video emphasizes the point. We are not capable of easily comprehending big numbers. Our brains, our frames of reference, our entire life experience and the evolutionary path that led to us are all confined to a reality that seems to consist of around 4 orders … Continue reading Powers of Ten Video
About a week ago I wrote a post detailing my family transition from a company subsidized health care plan to bearing the full cost of the plan under COBRA. I’m astonished to report that the bureaucratic ineptness and bungling continues. As of yesterday, having invested just under $3,000 of my own money I find myself… … Continue reading COBRA – Nice in theory
